CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-So-called
"Knightly Kickers," held their first
local meeting last night with an at,
tendance Of abou: fifty regular cleo
ted delegates present from five local
assemblies and self.constituted reps
resentatives from twenty more.
Charles Seib, Secretary Of the pro-
vi5ional committee appointed by
thirty five seceeding delegates Of the
Minneapolis general convention of
knights of Labor offieiated as chair

present who were not in accord with
the movement bot they were utterly
impervi0us to insinuati0ns that
spies were not wanted. In his speech
Joseph r. Buchanan "iIea,i Kick
er,' declared that The time had
come when honest Knights of La
Dor must for time at least renounce
all allegiance with the corrupt ring
that now controls the great and
noble order. He stated that it had
been found impossible to mentain
all effective fight from the inside
and that the only course left was to
declare open rsvo!t against the pow
ers that be.
After the usual number Of
speeches q COMMITTEES OF five Tas
appointed directed to send a letter
to all local assemblies in Cook coun-
ty calling upon them to elect their
delegates to the convention to be
held on the first Wednesday in De-
cembcr. Locals will be asked to

From the Augusta, Ga Gazette VIZ
learn;
The stockholders of the Georgis
Con-truction Company held q
meeting in the city yesterday morn,
ing, to take formal action toward
completing the Carolina, Knoxville
and Western Railroad. The meet
ing was held with closed doors, but
enough information was gathered to
po;nt to the completion of the road
III the near future.
The road has already been gra =
ed 1O3 miles Of the distance, and if
the GTeenville citizens vote the 5000
600 subscribed by them which ii is
probable they will do, the Georgia
Construction Company will take the
contract about JAnuaT: 1St Tie

report of Mr.. Il p. Sihley. who al
tended the meeting held at Green
vile, 5. G., on Thursday. and to act
upon the same This they did, ac-
cepting the contract upon the cons
dition that the 'itizens of Greenville
raise the required amount.
The most important point in the
building Of this road will be at this
end of the line that g, from Green
vile to either Augusta or Port Roy
al. The road $ carter grants them
the privc cGe Of Il route to either
place, and which ever one offers the
best inducement, to that point the
road will be built. Since Port Roy
al has fallen into the hands of an
English syndicate, huge efforts kave
been made by them to secure COM
peting line which would revive the
spirit Of this OLD torn, and unless
Augusta works for the line in all
probability Port Royal viii be the
southern terminal. There are sewers
al reasons why Augusta should try
and secure the road, among them,
that the distance toLouisviIle, Ken
tucky, and the West will be lessen
ed one hundred and twenty miles. |
Another is that the road passes
through Western North Carolina |

take action III the premises shortly"
